“The Future Geopolitic of ASEAN on Migration Policy:
Rohingya Experience”
by Jeanne Francoise
This paper abstract, which is written for International Association for the Study of Forced Migration (IASFM) presentation July 12-15, 2016 in Adam Mickiewicz University in Poznań, Poland, has an hypothesis that the future geopolitic of ASEAN, to be more united and to be more integrated, is the best approach of humanitarian diplomacy on Rohingya by applying law enforcement for Myanmar government and international community to recognize Rohingya people’s nationalism identity, at a time, by protecting human rights of Rohingya people as human-being with full of dignity in the universe.
Regarding of some refugee cases that Security Council of United Nations is actively conducting now, surprisingly, that if we type the word “Rohingya” on UNSC website, the result is zero. Rohingya case is widely connected as “internally displaced persons issue” by the experts, but nowadays, due to the detail observations by UN bodies and NGOs, Rohingya case is more than IDP issue. It is also the issue of conflict resolution and geopolitic.
In a fundamental geopolitic assumption, a geographical destiny of countries create unity and integrity solutions of the regions to solve a problem of a country member, for example Rohingya case. Rohingya question could be viewed as national problem of Myanmar, but based on Polemology theory, this case is highly potential creating the credibility of ASEAN itself of handling human rights and IDP case to the international community.
